BeaIank | 1,621 Events Team · Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Welcome back, warriors. I hope you enjoyed your break and rested your muscles. Because now we will resume our contest, and you will need to lay down the brawl and get them brains to work to solve the puzzling... SOLOMON'S KEY! Here are the rules for this skirmish: Play until Game Over Take your picture on the Game Over screen. Alternately, you may take your picture on the Title Screen if the Game Over screen disappears Highest score wins GENRE: Puzzle The contest ends Sunday, 07/09/23 at 11 PM VGS time. Your user name MUST be written or typed on a piece of paper and be in the picture for your score to be valid. The entire TV screen, or computer monitor if you are playing on an emulator, MUST be in the picture for the score to be valid. No partial screenshots will be considered or accepted. No screenshots by hitting "print screen" on a computer will be allowed. You must take a picture of your computer monitor. There may be instances where this will be acceptable, but it will be at the discretion of myself and the contest organizers. Also, the use of turbo controllers is forbidden, as well as any cheat codes, Game Genies, slow motion functions, or save states if playing on an emulator. Also, we will only be using NTSC systems for the contests. The use of PAL systems will NOT be allowed. Good luck everyone and have fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my pick for deepest, most complex game on the NES. Just the amount of secrets and shit is astounding. And yes it's also hard as hell.

Bearcat-Doug | 5,105 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 This may be the deadest contest thread of all time. I was just going to skip this week, but I might be able to finish second just by posting a score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But only one score by Friday is pretty bad. I admit I haven't played yet. I'll definitely try to get in a score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Morbis | 2,088 Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Yeah, this is one of those old-school early NES games with a million super cryptic ways to get points that you can't really just "learn" on your own. Then combine that with the first week of July being one of the busiest weeks of the year (outside of Christmas) for most North Americans, and this is what you get. Anyway, I've put in my score for this week, so there's the target on my back for whoever has time, but I'm done... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never played this and it doesn't look like something I'd enjoy at all, but maybe I can do like last week and get a top 5 score just by making an attempt.

NESfiend | 1,515 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Just got back to town and no copy of this game. Cant find the thing to load the SD card. Brutal when so few scores are up there. It will pick up next week with the holiday passed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbd39 | 2,024 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 I waited until the last minute and that's all I had time for. I think I had over 800k when we played this last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been really lax on the contest since moving, been going out to different places for dinner lately to try the local food since we had a few days of... not rain. Lol Nova Scotia is wet, bro.

arnpoly | 198 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Hi everyone, long time no see! I beat Solomon's Key earlier this year for the very first time, my final score was 1,676,810. Too little too late though lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
